Yesterday after patch i had bad feeling about range of AoEs, so i tried it on WvW keep gates. I was in range of firebal but i was unable to reach it with lava font or meteor shower.
Does anyone else noted this behavior?
And its really new? I never had such problem before …

Yeah, I feel it too and it huuuuurts as hell.
It’s quite hard to place AoE on ground below keep now. It’s like Anet want’s me to go suicidal on my staff ele – because You know. Having light armor and short HP bar, makes me so tanky, I should stand between enemies to put my AoEs on ground.

Jump on top of the ledge and you can place everything.
If anyone pulls you down, mistform back inside…

Seems only some arc projectiles can come over the ledge.
Not sure if its a bug or intended

Anet, secretly nerfing things that work perfectly fine since launch. Gotta love it.

The range of Fireball (and all arcing non-ground-targeted projectile attacks) has always been slightly further than the stated range. The effect is especially noticeable when you stand somewhere high and shoot at lower ground.

Yeah – it used to be like that, not anymore since patch. I don’t know, maybe I have some glitch or something, but my AoE have to be almost on wall below me to be placed at all
